Very fun game to play with friends

Amazing game

Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5)

I've spent some serious hours in "Generation Zero," and it's been a rollercoaster of emotions and adrenaline. Here's my take on the game:

"Generation Zero" is a unique blend of open-world exploration and first-person shooter, set in a beautifully crafted, post-apocalyptic version of 1989 Sweden, just 3 years before Soviet Union collapsed. The game immediately immerses you in a hauntingly atmospheric world where you're pitted against relentless and highly unpredictable robotic enemies, meanwhile trying to survive, complete missions and gather enough loot to fight against stronger and stronger hostile robots.

Pros [+]:

1) Would be the stunning Environment: The game's rendition of Sweden is simply breathtaking. The attention to detail and graphics in the environment, from dense forests to quaint villages, is impressive. Most iconic would be the traditional red colored Swedish homes near a lake/river.

2) Cooperative Gameplay: Playing with friends is where "Generation Zero" truly shines. The cooperative aspect adds depth to the gameplay, making it easier to strategize and tackle challenging encounters.

3) Mystery and Exploration: The storytelling is unconventional but engaging. The narrative unfolds gradually as you explore the world, piece together clues, and uncover the truth behind the robotic invasion.

4) Tense Firefights: Combat against the machines is genuinely thrilling. Each encounter feels intense and requires careful planning and resource management. The AI's unpredictability keeps you on your toes. But that depends on your difficulty level.

Cons [-]:

1) Solo Play Can Be Challenging: While the game is designed for cooperative play, going solo can be tough, especially in the early stages. The machines can overwhelm you quickly if you don't find loot or equipment to withstand the attacks.

2) Some Bugs and Technical Issues: Although there have been updates to address technical problems, you may still encounter some bugs. It's worth checking for the latest patches and updates.

3) Limited Storytelling: The unconventional storytelling may not be for everyone. Some players might prefer a more traditional narrative approach with cutscenes and characters. But in my opinion, that's just okay enough for now, since we got some NPC's too, so that we won't feel lonely anymore.

In conclusion, "Generation Zero" is a captivating and visually stunning game that offers a unique take on the open-world shooter genre. It excels when played with friends, but solo players may find it more challenging. If you enjoy exploring eerie landscapes, uncovering mysteries, and facing off against relentless enemies, this game is worth your time. Just be prepared for a few bumps along the way, both in terms of difficulty and technical issues. (bugs don't occur as much as before in my friend's POV who played it on early stage of the game)

Rainbow Six Siege is an incredibly well-made team-based first-person shooter that offers an immersive and strategic gameplay experience like no other. As a 144h player, I can confidently say that it is one of the best tactical shooters available on the market made back in 2015 till this prior year.

One of the things that sets Rainbow Six Siege apart from other shooters is its emphasis on teamwork and communication. The game rewards players who work together and communicate effectively by giving extra points for it (pretty sure I have seen that) and also something called "reputation". Reputation is something very good for those, who enjoy playing game the right way, unlike people who grief or disturb others. Raimbow makes it a great game to play with friends or as part of a team. The game's operator system also encourages players to experiment with different playstyles and team compositions, which keeps the gameplay fresh and exciting and also makes sure, that the agents get always reworked, buffed or nerfed, depending on the community liking.

Despite its complexity, Rainbow Six Siege does an excellent job of welcoming new players. Although you won't be directly sent to tutorial and have to find it yourself, it still gives you the hint of the story of the game and how it all started, shows what each agent can do and gives also points for each tutorial or so called "situations". Also one interesting thing that I have found is that the matchmaking system is designed to ensure that players are matched with others of similar skill levels. The game also features a helpful community that is always willing to offer tips and advice to new players (as far as I have experienced it)

The game's graphics and sound design are top-notch, and the attention to detail in the game's environments and operators is impressive. The destructible environments add an extra layer of strategy to the gameplay, as players can use explosives and other tools to breach walls and create new lines of sight for each other to peek their opponents.

Overall, Rainbow Six Siege is an exceptional game that is well worth the investment. The game's emphasis on teamwork and communication, combined with it's excellent tutorial system and welcoming community, make it a great choice for both new and experienced players. If you're looking for a tactical shooter that rewards strategy and teamwork, Rainbow Six Siege is definitely worth checking out. I mean, why wouldn't you?
But that's just a positive side that I have written.

The negative sides of Rainbow:

Firstly, the game's steep learning curve can be incredibly daunting for new players. The game's complexity and reliance on teamwork can be overwhelming, and the tutorial system which I did talk about earlier is kind of helpful but does not fully prepare players for the challenges of real gameplay. As a result, new players may feel frustrated and discouraged, which can lead to them abandoning the game altogether.

Furthermore, the game's matchmaking system is not perfect. It can often take a long time to find a match which could happen rarely and the quality of the matches and the game length can be inconsistent. Players may find themselves matched with teammates who are uncooperative or simply not skilled enough to compete effectively, which can make the game feel unpleasant to play and makes you lose your motivation.

Another issue with the game is its monetization system. While the base game is relatively inexpensive, the cost of purchasing new operators and cosmetic items can add up quickly from going from only 1000 renown (the currency) to 10k, 15k or even 25k. Eesh... And the amount of renown you get by either winning and losing is also a bit less in my opinion, but depending on your reputation and if you have activated a booster. But This can create a barrier to entry for new players and can make the game feel like a pay-to-win experience but it's just my opinion and you can fully disagree if you wish to.

Finally, the game's reliance on communication and teamwork can be a double-edged sword. While it can be incredibly rewarding to work with a coordinated team, it can also be frustrating when teammates do not communicate effectively or do not take the game seriously. (obviously this issue is faced in every competitive and team based game) This can lead to toxic behavior, griefing or abandoning matches and can make the game feel more like a chore than a fun and engaging experience.

Overall, while Rainbow Six Siege has many strengths, it is not without its flaws. It's steep learning curve, inconsistent matchmaking system, monetization system, and reliance on communication and teamwork can make the game feel frustrating and unenjoyable at times. But overlooking them, the game could be fun to play.

My rating for the game would be ★★★☆☆ since I can't really say it's good or bad. For now, I see the game fun to play and also uncomfortable to play at the same time, when I lack having a proper communication and team work from my team, which won't really happen everytime.

The game is realistic with the veichle movements and the detail of crashing your vehicle. It somewhat brings you joy and satisfaction to crash your veichle 180 KM/H into a small stone and see your veichle do the twirll.

Like my recent comment on Portal 2, this game is awesome and has a good graphics and a story for it's time when made. Although the game is worth the money and time to be spent, it still faces same lack of systematical errors. Some may face the game being frozen with only one frame stuck on your screen but can still hear what you are doing in the background, others can just play it without any interruptions. The point being is, that even if you have GeForce RTX 3070 and AMD Ryzen 7 5000 series installed on your PC, it won't save the game crashing.
I am thankful to Valve for refunding my money, but if you happen to buy this game, just remember - the game may crash multiple times and ruin a bit of your fun and you can get your money refunded if it keeps happening, but it still is the good OG game to play. :)

It's fun to play and takes some time to handle the recoil and where you want the bullets to go. All though there are many cheaters in the platform, you don't see them often unless you don't play the Prime version.

It is amazing game, you have so many controls, it even shows on your pc keyboard what controls you have, (if you have self customizable keyboard) locations are beautiful, game it self is realistic. I can't find yet anything what would be bad in the game, other then good. That's just my first experience with this game for the first 2 days, but still is amazing.
